    How exactly does he fight?

    He is a strong advocate of non violent protests, like protests in 2021 Valentine’s day when they were advocating for shining mobile torches on street as form of protest. Good luck with that in Russia.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “We will work and we will not give up,” he said in a video clip posted on Telegram early on Wednesday, claiming that the attack that left him with a broken arm was a “characteristic bandit hello” from Putin’s henchmen.

    Volkov is one of Russia’s most prominent opposition figures and was a close confidant of Navalny, working as the late leader’s chief of staff and as chair of his Anti-Corruption Foundation until 2023.

    Navalny spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh earlier said that “someone broke a car window and sprayed teargas in his [Volkov’s] eyes” before hitting him with a hammer.

    Hours before the attack Volkov also told independent Russian news outlet Meduza that he was worried for his safety after Navalny’s death.

    Lithuanian police spokesperson Ramunas Matonis confirmed to the news agency AFP that a Russian citizen had been assaulted near his home in the capital, Vilnius, at around 10pm on Tuesday.

    Most of Navalny’s closest allies are on Moscow’s wanted list and would face long-term prison sentences if they entered Russia.
